- ▸Known Engine Quirk: Audio hitching when shifting between Lorule and Hyrule rift portals.
- ▸Anbernic RG406V has enough GPU headroom on Mali-G57 to run The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds at 2x Native (720p) with 16x Anisotropic Filtering.
- ▸Bottleneck Profile (Shader Compilation & Turnip Driver): Nintendo built this to run at a locked 60 FPS in stereoscopic 3D. Merging into walls uses custom projection shaders.
- ▸Thermal & Battery Telemetry: SoC pinned at 100% utilization; noticeable frame drops during heavy effects.
